🎵 Song Meaning:
"Red Red Wine" is a melancholic song about heartbreak and escapism. The lyrics talk about someone drinking red wine to forget a lost love. It highlights how people sometimes use alcohol as a way to numb emotional pain
UB40’s version adds a Caribbean reggae rhythm and even includes a toasting verse (a spoken/sung rap) by Astro, one of the band members, which wasn’t in Neil Diamond’s original version

All I can do, I've done, but memories won't go 🎶
